 Hi all,

 Trying to execute the following:

 SELECT ST_AsText(ST_Transform(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(2649262.94974021
 4579345.79221865)', 3785), 4326))

 I get:

 NOTICE:  PostGIS was unable to transform the point because either no grid
 shift files were found, or the point does not lie within the range for
 which the grid shift is defined. Refer to the ST_Transform() section of
 the PostGIS manual for details on how to configure PostGIS to alter this
 behaviour.


 ERROR:  transform: couldn't project point (2.64926e+006 4.57935e+006 0):
 failed to load NAD27-83 correction file (-38)

 Based on various comments I found floating around the web, I tried the
 environment vars plus copying the zip file etc etc.

 The thing that strikes me as most important is that if I restart the PG
 Service and try the statement it works, but only once, all subsequent
 executions fail!
